RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cows 'milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy in infants in the United Kingdom. Infants with CMPA who are not exclusively breastfed require a substitute hypoallergenic formula, which are perceived as having a poor palatability. This study compares the palatability of different extensively hydrolysed formulas (EHFs) and explores healthcare professional (HCP) expectations of how palatability impacts infants and their families. METHODS: Healthcare professional with experience of CMPA were recruited to take part in a home palatability test of four EHFs [Aptamil Pepti 1, Nutricia Ltd. (EHF W1); Althera, Nestle Health Science (EHF W2); Similac Alimentum, Abbott (EHF C1); Nutramigen LGG 1, Mead Johnson (EHF C2)] using a blind taste procedure. A randomised, complete block design was used to minimise order and carry-over biases. Participants completed a questionnaire about the impact of formula palatability on infants and their families. RESULTS: A total of 100 HCPs took part (51 dietitians and 49 general practitioners). Overall, whey-based lactose-containing EHFs were ranked the most palatable: EHF W1 by 77% of participants and EHF W2 by 20%. EHF W1 was liked significantly more (P < 0.0001) than the other formulas. The vast majority of participants agreed that better palatability would result in an increased chance of non-rejection (96%), more content families (92%) and decreased healthcare costs (90%). CONCLUSION: Amongst HCPs who manage infants with CMPA, whey-based lactose-containing EHFs were ranked the most palatable. HCPs expected that good palatability would result in better acceptance, more content infants and families, alongside decreased wastage and healthcare costs.
